"What Do You Want Me To Say About Slavery"? Bye Nikki

[skews13]

Nikki Haley on Wednesday was asked about the cause of the Civil War, and her reply went viral in the worst way.

Slavery was not THE cause for the Civil War?

Hey Nikki, repeat after me: It - Was - About - Slavery

Great question. It should be asked over and over again to all of the candidates, so the country can watch them cringe as they answer ir it wrong.

There are far more "slaves" today than in 1860.

Unfortunately a significant amount are children in the most hideous and vulgar way

Everyone knows it was about a state's right to leave the Union.

A Union held together at the point of a bayonet by the threat of invasion is just a hostage situation.

And that's exactly the answer I want all of the Republican candidates to give.

Yep but it's worse now.

Your leader likely involved

I would hope so since it's the truth.

Congratulations. You just revived the whole CRT conversation again, in schools and kitchen tables all across America.

Good job.

Crt should be banned in schools... it's twisted history

Every State that left the Union cited slavery as a reason in their statements on why they left.

She cannot be honest about it or she will lose any support she has gained.

i don't think bernie is involved, he likely doesn't own an escort service or modeling agency.

China just approved Donald Trump-branded spas, escort services and massage parlours

Preliminary approval has been granted for 38 trademarks which raises further questions about conflicts of interest

Lol, I'm pretty sure the South was upset about a particular "right."

The "right" to hold other people in bondage.

But hey if shrouding slavery in a euphemism helps, have at it.


The more interesting bit, and the whole reason for this going viral is the fact that to a Republican presidential candidate acknowledgement of slavery is considered political disadvantageous.

This in itself says something about the Republican base.

what was "wrong" about the answer? Anyone who imagines that slavery was the only reason for the Civil War is wrong

Says the people who insist Southern States left over States Rights. I guess they didn't teach you the Confederacy banned Confederates States from having the right to end the practice of slavery....

I know. Isn't it great? It's the same problem they all have, and every debate moderator should hang it around their necks like a dead albatross.

In 1860 slavery was legal in the US, therefore a state right. The democrats seized on it

Back up, regroup and try again

It is the one consistent reason the states leaving the union all gave in their Declarations of succession

Yup the State right they left over was slavery. And it was stupid Lincoln, and the republicans did not have the power in 1860 to get rid of slavery. What the south was worried about was that they would prevent new states joining the Union that were slave states and eventually would have the votes to outlaw slavery. So they went to war and lost the issue when they probably had 20 more years if they hadn't.
